Anyone has a list of US-specific or US-heavy/centric communities in Lemmy that I can just block? Or if you good mateys know of any tricks one could apply, cause every other post here is about the US and, as someome who’s never stepped foot on the damn country—and might never do so—, this is rather annoying. Yes, president bad. So and so bad. Whatever. I wish to see myself free of this madness, if anyone has any tips. Or maybe I should quit Lemmy, touch grass instead. Idk. Totally done that before, taking a Lemmy break. Maybe that’s the way. I might look into limiting US consumption everywhere else as well. US-free internet diet!
A very simple method would just be blocking those as you see them.
And then keep blocking them.
It’s not exactly difficult, I do it with all the AI and most of the meme communities.
Every once and a while someone makes a new one, but you just block it when you see it.
Same, that was my experience browsing “All” as a new Lemmy user… “Wow… that’s a lot of furry porn… and gay porn… and gay furry porn…”
Blocking those communities one by one rendered the All feed mostly sensible.
LOT of furry porn!
Even good meme communities?
I left /microblogmemes and /political memes
If there’s anymore left they’re just flying under the radar.
But those are “memes” by the Richard Dawkins original meaning of the term. Not “memes” as in “haha, guys like how stupid I am, don’t you think I’m stupid” humor.
Memes aren’t just shitty jokes, but thats all that’s in the shitty meme communities.
Unfortunate downside is you will miss other posts from a community, and US is always bound to show up in unrelated communities. I especially remember, albeit in Reddit, a photo of the now-president came out, and was everywhere. The damn gaming community had it posted. Like, wtf? The same one, everywhere. Not Lemmy, of course, but still. If there was a list anywhere of ones I could safely block without much side effects. Not even necessarily politics, but some may be specific to places I do not live in
Focus on users as well. Not that many people care enough to come post articles on here about Trump or whatever.
Wish there were topics or categories, such that we could block that instead. Would make it easier
